last nite was a one-of-a-kind experience. dinner at Meritius Mandarin, Orchard. in FULL formal wear. Its the last lesson of The Winning Formula and the topic is dining etiquette. Well, I'll not elaborate on my little disaster during my prep for e dinner that nearly made me late. Nearly late cos I took a cab from Buona Vista straight down and it saved me alot of time. But of cos, it also blow my pocket. Cos I took another cab ride in e morning for my acctg quiz. LOL. But I'm nt complaining.. Its money well-spent.
The food there was great, but I cannot say for myself that I had fully enjoyed the dinner. I think Prof Fock made a very relevant point that at least now we will not mind eating in Canteen B cos there, we do not have to worry how we place our fork and stuff. Haha.. good point!
Anyway, the prof was very nice to share with us his experience but i cant help but feel out of place. Cos the topic was on finance, banking sector and stuff. So most of the time I just nodded, smiled, or laughed at a joke. Or eat of cos. And the students there were all so outstanding that it makes me feel kinda small. LOL. Really.. double spec la, dean listers la.. And one of my classmate is flying to U.S end of this month for her internship. Another got hers at E&Y cos of her scholarship.
But still.. it was a meaningful nite. It was where the profs saw the fruit of their prog. The students who went thru the prog they fought for, and how they saw some of them transformed into another person. And the advice that they gave to us.. Particularly rem Prof Fock's ABC
A=Art Practise what we have learnt till its like an art to us.
B=Belief Believe in urself of cos!
C=Character Without this, even the best academic will fail.
I know they wont see it here but, thks to all e 3 profs for giving me a chance to go to TWF. I hope we can all prove that their hard work is worth it. Starting from my interview later? oops
